Chapter 552: Pleading For Him

Marc shivered and didn’t dare to raise his head to look at him.

At this moment, Lucas was in control of his life, causing horror to surge in his heart.

Lucas’s main purpose of barging into the Kingston manor was to collect Karen’s corpse.

No matter what, she was the mother of Charlotte and Cheyenne.

Lucas didn’t manage to save Karen and bring her back alive. But he had to bring her corpse back to bury her and let her rest in peace.

Otherwise, if Cheyenne and Charlotte learned that Karen’s corpse wasn’t complete, they would definitely break down further.

Marc trembled for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, “I… I’ve already told you that I’ve… I’ve fed her corpse to the dogs!”

If he still wanted a chance to live and turn the situation around, he had to rely on Karen! No matter what, he couldn’t tell Lucas about it!

Bang!

Lucas lost his cool and immediately kicked Marc in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground and grimace in pain.

“You’re not telling the truth even at this point, huh? I’ll see how hard your bones are!” Lucas stared into Marc’s eyes, and an ominous, unparalleled killing intent instantly engulfed him!

What kind of a figure was Lucas?

He had fought hard in Calico with the Falcon Regiment and relied on his own hard work and abilities to become the leader of the Falcon Regiment, thus becoming the mythical ‘Invincible God of War’.

He had long become an expert at interrogation and delving into the human mind.

Lucas had been incredibly enraged when Marc told him smugly over the phone that Karen was already dead and that he had fed her corpse to the dogs. Lucas believed him then, but after seeing the fleeting avoidance in Marc’s eyes when he questioned him, he knew that Marc was lying!

Although Lucas was still unclear about what exactly he was lying about, he wasn’t bothered by it because he was certain that he would hear Marc confess the truth as long as he probed further.

“Wh-what are you trying to do? You can’t kill me!” Marc screamed while cowering continuously.

Lucas said coldly, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you die now, but I’ll make your life feel worse than death!”

Then he lifted his foot and stomped on Marc’s calf with all his might.

Snap!

With the crisp sound of bones cracking, Marc immediately raised his head and shrieked miserably at the top of his lungs. “Ah!!! My leg!”

His shrilling voice echoed throughout the front yard of the Kingston manor, making everyone’s scalp tingle and turn numb.

Lucas’s stomp crushed the middle section of Marc’s calf, making his flesh badly mangled and impossible to restore.

“I’ll ask you once more. Where is Karen Turner’s corpse?” Lucas once again questioned overbearingly. At the same time, he stepped onto Marc’s other leg.

At this moment, Lucas’s expression was cold, and he was exuding an intimidating aura, looking just like a god of murder.

Marc was almost scared soulless, and he was trembling incessantly in the face of the pressure. Even the others couldn’t help being horrified too.

Even Edmund was astonished to see Lucas’s actions.

He only knew Lucas’s most superficial identity and had even thought he was just an ordinary person with high proficiency in martial arts. So when he heard that Lucas had broken into the Kingston manor and landed himself in a dangerous situation, he had rushed over immediately.

But the Lucas he was seeing today was very different from what he had imagined.

Lucas’s martial arts were impressive and far beyond Edmund’s imagination. His intimidating and formidable aura, composed state of mind, and determination to kill were definitely not qualities that ordinary people could possess.

But Edmund didn’t dislike Lucas for them. Instead, he was in greater awe and curiosity toward him.

What kind of experience would actually make a young man in his late twenties develop such a terrifying dominance, power, and state of mind?

At this moment, Marc was on the verge of peeing his pants because he was petrified and overwhelmed with horror from the murderous aura Lucas was exuding.

His head was covered in cold sweat, but he nevertheless gritted his teeth and still insisted stubbornly, “I’m telling the truth. I… I’ve really fed her to the dogs, and there isn’t a single bit of her body left!”

Snap!

Without further ado, Lucas once again stomped on Marc’s other calf, crushing it and mashing his flesh together.

“Ahhhh!!!!” Marc finally couldn’t bear with it any longer and passed out due to the excruciating pain.

Lucas frowned, squatted down, and was about to press his philtrum to wake him up. But he suddenly heard someone lashing out at him loudly.

“That’s enough! Lucas Gray, you’re going overboard by bullying someone who has no means to resist!”

The person who interjected was a man in his fifties. He stepped out from the crowd with anger written all over his face.

Seeing that he was full of righteous indignation, Lucas suddenly sneered and gibed contemptuously, “I’m being overboard? Why didn’t you step out and say that Marc Kingston was overboard by kidnapping my mother-in-law, killing her, and then feeding her corpse to dogs?

“Now I’ve only crippled his legs. On what grounds are you accusing me of being overboard?

“Are you Kingstons nobler than others? You don’t need to put on airs and take the moral high ground in front of me. You people are the assailants, so you have no right to do so!”

“You!”

Lucas’s words immediately made that man who stood out to accuse him turn red with embarrassment, rendered speechless.

Marc had casually killed someone and fed her corpse to dogs, which was an incredibly cruel act. It was only reasonable for his victim’s family to retaliate against him as they pleased.

At this moment, Edmund also stood out and said to the man, “Moses, even if you want to speak up and defend your son, this isn’t the time and place to do it. Marc deserves this because he did such a cruel and psychotic thing. He has also been kicked out of the family by Lance, so why are you still trying to turn the situation around?

“Besides, Lance agreed to hand Marc over to Lucas. Are you trying to go back on the promise now?”

Moses was immediately speechless.

Although he was Marc’s father and Lance’s son, he had lacked talent since he was a child, so he had never been valued by Lance. Naturally, he wouldn’t dare to defy Lance’s decision.

“But… that woman is dead after all. Even if you take revenge on Marc, it won’t help! How about this? Spare my son’s life, and I promise to fulfill any request of yours as long as it’s within my means!” Moses said through clenched teeth.

Since he had been pressured by Lance just now, he could only watch as his son got handed over to Lucas and kicked out of the family without daring to voice his objection.

However, now that Marc’s legs had been crushed by Lucas, and he was screaming in misery, Moses finally couldn’t endure it and stepped forward.

Lucas was surprised.

Based on the scene just now, he thought that the Kingstons were merely some selfish and vile people who would only protect themselves. He hadn’t expected one of them to be willing to save Marc.

“Are you willing to do it as long as it’s within your means?” Lucas suddenly asked with a smirk.

Only then did Moses see a glimmer of hope, and he hurriedly exclaimed, “Yes, I will keep my word!”

Lucas suddenly pointed at Marc on the ground and said coldly, “I want you to kill him with your own hands right now. Can you do it?”
